Okay, so we know that Jedi fans love to geek out and celebrate May 4th as National Star Wars Day (exchanging "May the Fourth Be With You" greetings and memes), but TODAY marks the "Revenge of the SiXth" -- to honor the Sith Lords and all the glories of the Dark Side.

With that in mind, here's to a deliciously wicked meta (MMM), the answer to which is an 8-letter adjective...

Note: No knowledge of Star Wars is needed. For the faint of heart, here is the plan of attack: You need to "seek and destroy" 8 letters in the grid. ...and if AFTER trying, you need MORE help: these 8 letters are located symmetrically in the grid, helping you find them more easily.

Mwahaha! The couch had been vacated!! Victory is mine!!!
[Fun puzzle, @Darth ]

Off the couch - thanks for the puzzle!

OTC! Great job, @Darth!

OTC. Thanks, Darth.

OTC, but I haven’t quite figured everything out…..
OK, I get it now. Very nice, Darth!

Off the couch. Thanks for the Monday fun, Darth!

OTC!

With help from a fellow Jedi.

OTC. Great puzzle, Darth.

Well. It's not what I can't believe it isn't.

I've got a nice retaliation mechanism in mind if it continues to not be what I can't believe it's not.

Definitely needed the first hint, no way I'd have gotten there without it. But fun stuff once I had that. Thanks.

OTC with no hints, except from my wife.

@Darth , can we still be friends if a) I've only seen the first Star Wars (Episode IV) and b) spent the entire time waiting for Yoda to appear (he doesn't)?

OTC. Backsolved a tiny bit to find the bits I didn't see at first. Fun puzzle! Thanks, @Darth!

OTC. I had to use the first nudge to see the metanism. Much fun! Thanks, Darth!

Sure, @MikeyG, if you like Xwords, that's geeky enough for me! 8-)

Off the couch! Nice one Darth!

OTC with the help of the first nudge. Smelled something, but might not have solved without that nudge.

Still time to get on the Day 1 Leader Board. Leader Board -- There are 41 successful solvers so far...

Got this (nudgelessly) earlier today, arriving at the solution and only then discovered how clever it actually was! Always love seeing the extra layer even when missing it along the way. Really great, Darth!
